dollars are spent on farmers markets, that money stays in local economies. we're starting to get traction there. people understand when they understand health outcomes of people living on a poor diet, educational outcomes, i think they start to take notice. >> tom, i'm going to open up to my friends in new york. we talked about income inequality in the last block. here is an example of structural, systemic failures that throwed historic highs in terms of poverty. we are talking about cuts to food stamps. i wonder from your standpoint whether you think democrats and progressives have paid enough attention to this issue, which is hunger in america, and whether democrats have ceded too much ground to the right. at this moment being where we are on poverty, we're talking about cuts to food stamps instead of at the very least maintaining funding we have. >> this is an interesting question when we've just extolled the virtue of obama's ability to negotiate. what that represents and we talk about mandela. listen, we obviously made jokes all morning about the gridlo
